Secret boats, Senator Hanson-Young wants to call it; I am not quite sure if it is called that. But notwithstanding that, I did not support the Greens and the opposition with respect to those motions, and neither did Senator Madigan, because I had some genuine concerns about the operational aspects of that. However, this motion by Senator Hanson-Young is quite a reasonable one because it relates to debating the response of the government, and in those circumstances there ought to be a suspension of standing orders.
